Slog - Comments on KC Superior Court Approves Pat Davis Recall Petition http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/kc_superior_court_approves_pat_davis_rec Despite arguments in KC Superior Court today from Pat Davis and her lawyer Suzanne Thomas from Preston Gates that Port Commissioner Bob Edwards (not Davis) negotiated Mic Dinsmore's hefty retirement package and despite her line that Dinsmore never got the money anyway, KC Superior Court Judge Charles Mertel ruled that good government activist Chris Clifford's recall petition could go forward. (He'll need about 150,000 signatures to get it on the ballot.) The judge even changed some of Clifford's language, making it more damning. The judge, for example, added the word "knowingly" into the accusation that Davis entered into a pay...

Excellent reporting, Feit! Apparently no other local media outlet has reported this news. A ruling which
allows a petition to recall a local elected political official is an exceptionally serious and newsworthy event. Congratulations on breaking

The Seattle Times doesn't forget. Pat Davis doesn't forget either.
